If I’m using Bozja to level DPS, does it matter whether I’m in the Bozja instance or the Zadnor instance? Is EXP gain similar?
It's identical
Gotcha. What about mettle gain?
Zadnor
Zadnor by miles for mettle. Skirmishes and CEs there give like 10x as much as BSF.
That's no exaggeration.
Okie dokes. Might as well beat up two horses at once. Thanks!
blue can also be turned in for the record
Hi all. Anyone have a server disconnect right now? First time ever, and my internet is quite stable. No new antivirus software and on Zalera. 90002 code
I presumed the person asking would not yet have any blue gear
are u drivers up to date?
There have been some weird intermittent issues floating around the last few weeks
that’s fair
this was happening to me but i needed to update my drivers and then it didnt happen anymore
Affecting different people at different times, staying for awhile for some, only happening once or twice and then stopping for others
Yeah, I keep my drivers up to date generally speaking. I let windows update take care of network drivers.
Maybe that's not enough for me?
Should I go manually update some drivers?
Some people are suggesting it could be DDoS, some people are thinking it might be the devs tinkering with server infrastructure in preparation for the datacentre travel update
Oh that makes a lot of sense actually, Lyon.
I had some bad issues like three weeks back for about three days straight and then they entirely stopped
Others have had issues more recently
There were a few mass disconnects and a few specific areas having trouble
We don't really know what's going on.
@true forum Any special updating you did to the drivers?
Sweet, thanks.
@jade quartz
no i just updated them lol
Just my first time and wanted to make sure everything is cool lol
I am quite intent on playing today 
Thanks all/
I havent played in a few years have a 52 samurai on Hyperion but thinking about moving to a new server so my friends can join me right now cant make chars on hyperion, whats a good active NA server, pref a focus on raiding/RP and higher pop
I am looking for a role play free company any ideas?
!faq communityfinder
Use this
Server niches for the most part don’t really exist anymore.
The duty finder and party finder pull from the datacenter as a whole
oh really? sorry its been a long time haha
I played alot when realm reborn came out a bit during shadowbringer
thanks
You can make on hyperion when people get off, aka late at night/early morning
Seems like all worlds are full these days good sign haha
during the hunt/CLL/Dalriada situation
to invite the people who ask for party
is there any other way beside repeatedly right clicking -> invite to party?
That's how you do it
Oof, okay. Update. It says I'm logged into another client? So weird.
ok ty ty
diamond not on the roulette?
it is
hey how do I get Valentione Forget-me-not Waistcoat
is it just purely seasonal event thing?
or is there some other way?
hmm weird then, 30min tank queue
It's on mogstation only now
ah I see
hard to decide on server lol, dont wana make the wrong decision hate being on a dead server like in wow
There's no dead servers
Cause you know, world visit and cross server matching and all
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
And constant shuffling of preferred servers
this game has cross server matching now dope
If I buy a PS4 for my girl to play today are we going to be worrying about support ending bc of the ps5 too quickly ?
The ps5 is too new a system for them to end support
The playstation 4 is probably going to be supported until the next gen at least, or when enough players move over to 5 that 4 doesn't make sense to keep supporting
Is bard an heal or dps
dps
Im currently leveling my miner and botanist, and most guides suggest leveling in the firmament from lv.10. Though right now, I usually hit 5 levels by clearing the job quest. Should I level in the firmament and do my job quests later, or only go there once I did not meet the requirement for the next job quest?
Job quests give you abilities, so it's best to stay on top of them
Ps3 support was from arr to the start of heavensward
Does the Bard have an fast rotation i am rly not a fan of this 2,5 sec GCD
all of them do
All jobs have a 2.5s gcd
at higher levels
It slowly gets better
So bare minimum ps4 support will be until the end of enwalker
But bard does have high apm later
Is there a command for returning players i feel like the john travolta meme
Due to its procs
Yea but some jobs have more spells to weave around
Yes bard has hose
Bis for brd actually uses skill speed iirc
And has procs to reset some of them
most jobs will have stuff for double weaving
The support for the PS4 is a numbers game. If there's enough players using it still, and they still make enough income to justify supporting it, it will stay
Why do they keep all the fun till the complete end of the game kind of a turn off for newbies
thats how jrpgs generally work
Yes and no, the devs will also want to move over to better hardware too. This was a big issue on ps3 especially
And mmos mostly... You lack skills early and doesn't get better until you get more skills
You get your bare bones combos
blame wow tbh
Then add in stuff
Comming from WoW i can say that by level 10 i had like 8 spells with 1,5 GCD and thats more than enough
the early game of FFXIV was built using cata/mist wow as an example
As much as they'd like, it still comes down to money. If there's a profit to be made, and the issue of pissing off your customers is still a real thing, then they won't be moving. Gotta think like a business here. Regardless, not the place to discuss this.
How does controller even work? like i have 3 bars full of skills how do you control that with a controller
By using the triggers and face/direction buttons
You have 40 easily accessible hotbars slots
With double tapping triggers
And holding both
Basically acting as shift and alt modifiers
ARR is EVERYTHING before heavensward, not just the 7th Umbral Era, right?
Yes
Cool, thanks
are these items only available when Endwalker releases?
Yep
ty
I bought some items from mogstation how long do they take to get delivered usually?
Where do i get these prismas where i can glam myself
hi guys new here
What are seals?
Depends on the items. Mounts can take a little longer than usual. There's a button at the top that can try transfer the items. Usually an hour or so on average for most things
The main decider is if it’s character specific or account wide
so i am on free trial , should i go to steam version to buy or just square enix website??
Whatever you want, functionally the same. Only difference is monetary when buying the game
ok good
do I need to complete everything in all nine trail of brave books?
Yes
seems a bit excessive
Welcome to the worst step
hi i need help for log in the game
can someone help me pls
i have problems with one time password
What's up?
If you haven’t used it before, leave it blank
If you think you need it
hmmmm
Also you’re over complicating shell
what's the fastest way to level from 61-70? I'm at 64 atm and I can't do the main story quest i need to be level 65
Hello. If one does not want or cba to do the Shadow of Mhach alliance raids / Return to Ivalice raids for the Memory of the Dying ilvl515 relic stage.
Which zones in Gyr Abania and the Far East would be recommended for fate farming?
Just use shell for better success rate
what Im trying to make reflect
the lochs, the azim steppe
is it worth it to try and make REGEN + Shell
Thank you Paragon

I'm going to farm those elementals
which duty roulett is the best for speed leveling? is it the one called leveling lol
If you're reflect farming then you just want reflect
Yes, once a day
And alliance raid
leveling, frontline, alliance raid, MSQ are the usual order since those give good XP
so it's not preferred to just spam 1 of those from 60-70?
No
why cant I get levemete quests from mor dhona
Roulettes are only good experience/tomestones because of the daily bonus
So you're just being put into low level dungeons for no benefit
Running them again is the exact same as directly queueing for the duty
Guys, I need help. I cannot activate the free trial for PS4
I had previously played the beta back on PS3 so I already had an old account
Does this mean I won't ever be able to play the trial?
Not the updated trial... Old timed trial accounts aren't updated for the new trial
Maybe? I’m not sure if the beta counted as the trial.
What can I do then?
But yeah if you ever participated in the old free trials that had the time limit, you can’t go back into the free trial
New psn
Im meant to be doing "The Awry Salvages" but no one is here to give it to me.
Is there a way to unlink my current account from PSN and let me create a new one?
Nope
Do some leves to cycle them
What mats should i buy with allgan tomes now that nearly all my toons are 80? I keep overcapping
whats a leve?
Check the price of the materials above and including Spirit Extract
are they just quests?
Have you tried doing a Anima weapon
trying to find the other ones but they arent showing up
is there a way to get minions on my shoulder or do they just do it whenever they want
It’s minion-specific, but for the ones that can you can usually do it with using /beckon on the minion
A few only do it when they want to, some only when you’re standing still, and one or two that try to get on you immediately
ohh i see thank you
Depends on their temperament
Independent minions like ||midgardsormr|| can't be beckoned
how do I fix this? I switched to my samurai and for some reason it's keeping all my old stuff from my ninja
ty
As a GNB, when would I ever use Burst Strike over the cartridge combo? I assume it might be useful in niche cases, but is it part of the rotation?
Because it has a 30s Cooldown
Burst strike is used during your overall rotation
You generate too many cartridges to not use them in burst strike
It's your cartridge dump skill
Oh whoops, I missed the 30s on the first combo. Thought it was all 2.38s, tyty.
anyone know if this has stormblood?
guys i can't remember my personal question of my account, what can i do?
Yes
Does anyone have a minute to answer a few question about going from a f2p account to unlocking the full game?
i dont see it is it normal :C
Shadowbringers has stormblood in it
okay...
They always bundle old expansions into the new
did you buy from this too?
guys i can't remember my personal question of my account, what can i do?
It's literally how they do expansions
Shadowbringers gives you stormblood regardless how you buy it
okay thank you
Endwalker will give people stormblood and shadowbringers in November
pls help
uhhhh
so i better wait?
it's just 40 euro if it has 3 dlcs
On the bundle info it says "This complete edition is perfect for new comers as it includes the award-winning FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn and the Heavensward, Stormblood, and Shadowbringers expansion packs!"
Only if you want to save money.... But wait 5 months to do current content
oh yeah
is there any setting for party list buff priority?
Plus there probably won't be another sale until endwalker anyway
Especially from steam
yeah man, kinda sad i have to play on steam, i even bought complete edition for windows edition yesterday for nothing
not everyone has $0 steam wallet like me 😂
you have to contact support i think
i decided to ditch the one i bought yesterday for steam version coz it's easier with steam wallet to do stuff
can you see the party you finished a dungeon with
like if I completed a dungeon and wanted to find a player who I had partied with?
type /contactlist
What is the difference between steam version and through the website?
Functionality: none
the steam version, you can pay with steam wallet
yes social, contacts let's you see the last ones you were in a party
hm, the players seem to be on other worlds, can I search for players on other worlds or am I SOL?
And is there still a subscription to pay through steam?
you can pay everything through steam but only on the SE account created via steam
@civic pewter social > contacts
jump to other world, then you can search them
yeah, when I try to send a friend request it says "cannot find a user with that name"
ok
So when I already have a f2p account I hvae to create a new one if I want to play through steam?
hey um, I'm trying to make my WHM Zodiac, but I can't get the Atma stage started for some reason. I have the Zenith Weapon equipped, but Gerolt doesn't have anything for me.
make sure it's still trial though
Speak to Jalzahn nearby for the quest to unlock Atmas.
..oh duh..
It’ll stay trial until you register your code
If you've already done that, then you need to go farm your atmas with your Zenith weapon equipped, then turn them in to Jalzahn. There's no quest active during this part.
ARR relics are weird like that.
They really need to give Jalzahn an icon of some sort.. 9_9
To check where you can farm Atmas, check your completed quest journal under Side Stories > Zodiac Weapons
Most time-efficient way to get the unidentifiable stuff for the Anima weapon?
Or just follow this guide https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Atma_Zodiac_Weapons/Quest
Guys, what does it mean to have Priority missions for my squadron "grayed out"? Will they get no exp/items?
Poetics
Okie
They’re once a week
That part i remembered, but what''s the difference between grayed out missions and normal ones?
They won0t let me deploy?
between 2nd and 3rd
which one do you think I should choose? this "other" enhancement, what are the example?
i've unlocked everything right? (ShB) - ||nier, eden, ruby, bozja (still need to grind) ||
!faq contentunlock
oh that's nice, can double check too since i need to backtrack previous expansion
does anyone know how to fix the direct x error thing
i literally cant play for more than one hour
without it crashing
I'm still in trail, but it seems i cant switch to steam
You can, you press enter registration code on mogstation
should I wait for the next expansion to buy the full game?
Do you want to wait 5 months and miss the current sale
imo start now, while it's on sale
is it still on sale I thought I missed it?
does anyone know how to fix my issue :v
And it’s on sale with GreenMan
ok ty guys for telling me
Is there way to make an mouse hover-click macro? leveling Astrologian, and would love to just click player names to give them the card buffs
Is your RAM overloaded?
so im ACN but now that i have SMN soul stone and SCH soul stone that i can level up and solo in SMN and change to SCH for instanced stuff right?
yeah a lot of people including me did that
just change weapon and save it to gearset, you can change class instantly
Yes but you will still need caster AND healer gear
And job quests
whats the fastest way to get 15 Loathsome Memories of the Dying is it just doing castrum 3 times?
Yes
thanx
Can farm the other memories or clusters (or both) while waiting
How do i get my relic weapon above ilvl 500? It wont let me progress to next one

Oh man oh no!!!! Anything but Bozjan
I mean you already done fate grinding, more won't hurt
do you think a dancer would work well with a healer friend in pvp?
do i need to redo the memory gathering part for my ShB relic where i needed to do like 18 HW and 18 SB Alliance raids?
No
okay good
That and the Zadnor items are 1 time only
and thank god for that
how much is it of a grind for the last stages of the ShB relics? only gotten the NIN weapon to the last Law's order phase but wouldn't mind the GNB relic in the full form
Dalriada gives 3 emotions but Delubrum gives 2 and 3 timeworns
so killing 2 birds with 1 stone
sounds good
with a good group DR can be done in less than 30 minutes
and with a REALLY good group less than 20
Speedrun for sub 15
nowadays even pug runs for 22 mins..
hmm what's up with that btw? I figured there would be a lot of black mages since they're very strong but samarai has more than double lol
is black mage hard to play or something?
it can be
I wouldn't read too much into it
black mage requires a lot more encounter knowledge than any other job to perform well
BLM wants to stay still all the time
can be many factors...
SAM is easier I think?
BLM needs to make better use of their movement tools for keeping up uptime, unlike summoner
i said want not need
No idea
BLM doesn't need that much more encounter knowledge than other jobs, and they also have great movement tools.
Yeah
also entirely down to personal playstyle/preference
a good sam can hate playing black mage, and vice-versa
True
we should have an faq saying why black mage is exaggerated
I do think SAM is pretty intuitive? At least at the basic level
base rotation is fine enough, but not really the place for me to rant about why it's annoying hard again
for sam its the strict loop and use of filler while greeding to keep uptime and not lose midare/tsubame alignment is what makes it hard
How exactly do the Seals for AST's Divination work? Does it put in a Seal every time you Play the card or something else cause sometimes I Play and no Seal appears
you need to be in combat
blm is difficult because of being careful of how you plan your movement tools to fit the context of the encounter
ah
this doesn't require more knowledge since everyone has to do mechanics regardless of your job
you mean... encounter knowledge?
All jobs need encounter knowledge to optimise.
you don't need to know more necessarily, just to apply it in a different way
you don't need more encounter knowledge, you need an understanding of your movement tools
BLM's optimisation just mostly takes the form of movement optimisation.
this is why people like Sfia are capable of progging on blm
Other jobs have different forms of optimisation around mechanics.
its job understanding more than encounter knowledge
for example, a machinist with free movement knows the exact safe spot of where to go and can stand there early as well so they have less things to press
while it is much less important for them to do so comparatively, it's still the exact same knowledge
black mage just has more dire application of it
Levio Sa (5.4 rank 2 global, rank 1 NA) gives us the hottest BLM take of the year.

short video that talks about all the different movement options BLM has
sometimes it's as easy as "Hold 1 stack of Xeno and your sharpcast proc for this mechanic"
red mage is arguably the least mobile because you have much less control over when you get to move despite having the most movement windows
also Swiftcast isn't a major deal for BLM to always use on cooldown, so that can be held to an extent
at least optimally
yeah RDM suffers from extended movement since it cuts into their B/W mana
which can delay manafication if done too much.
Swiftcast use swapping your Hardcast and dualcast windows is a thing you have to consider as well
Please keep the BLM count small. The less people play BLM, the more I can join one-player-per-job parties. 
That aside, how does the Dynamis Dice work?
?
Why can’t I open this? I got it for WHM 60
Belt
Okay so I used to boot the game through steam but quit for awhile, and had to reinstall the game. I have paid game time and a valid game license. However booting the game only gives me 2 options, creating a free trial account with or without a SE account. How do I sign into my account then?
You have another healer belt that’s contained in that coffer
@hard parrot any one of these self effects
Look for a Fabled Belt of Healing in your armoury, and get rid of it
Got it ty
If I get a crit during devilment/battle litany/chain stratagem how much of my damage goes to other players?
I've tried looking through the forums but i couldn't find anything about getting past create a trial account, I've doubled checked that I have gametime, the expansions, and that all info is correct
goes to them i believe
the additional damage from the crit
you're launching from the full edition of the game? not the free trial launcher?
From what I saw yes. Although I never saw there was a difference. Where do I go to download/launch from full edition?
if it's from steam it should just be launched from your library if you had already owned the game at some point
else it would literally just say 'free trial' alongside the title of the game in your library
Thats what I would think, but nae ig it's booting the free trial then
And nah there isn't
Did you register the code for buying the game
If I did it was months ago and I don't remember
But
When I logged into MOG station it showed I owned the game and expansions
...Doom? Goddamn. Doesn't that mean I'm dying?
Does AST only get Artifact Armor at lvl 60 (and beyond)?
Yes
How long does the game take to install I just bought the discounted pack 
expansion jobs don't get artifact armor sets for level caps they weren't around for.
Where do I go to verify that btw?
Mogstation
That depends on your download speed ;o
Ah if I have the "o" next to all of them that means it's registered right? 
oof well ok nothing really happened to the download its still preparing to install 
yes
Yep...it is weighted to good sides though. I got good effects like 25/27
holy hell LOL, for me the download was pretty quick and I download at top speed 11mbps
yeah i've yet to get a negative effect from like 20 uses of the dice
Welp, might as well try it on CE's and hope I don't die.
uhh mines is at 53 mbps
upload however is 10.3
What’s the best way to level up a second job from 1 if ive already done the msq?
!faq altlvlguide
Should be alright then
Wait that reminds me:
When I re-downloaded it was 50mb. That's not right is it?

that doesn't sound right
sounds like you only installed the launcher, not the full game
Nae it launches the game
Could be wrong, I'm away from my pc but I can check in an hour
Also ty @outer mural @faint flare for the help 
you login?
there is no "create new free trial account" in the launcher
it is "login with account" or "create new account"
Ok ty 🙂
Give me 15 and I can show
seconds, minutes or hours?
Mins XD
be sure to check on mogstation too if you can
if you have account type set to (Steam)

how often do servers that have character creation locked to it reopen char creation again
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
it basically updates in real time
so like every minute or faster
!faq worldstatus
you can refresh this page to see servers open and close
there will be a new datacenter in september, right?
im a f2p player currently looking at investing i want to get the endwalker prepurchase but it says it doesnt give the current expansions till endwalker is released do i have to wait or buy the complete edition to have access to them?
No
you'll have to wait till release
until then, you can only buy shadowbringers w/ complete
The Oceanic datacentre isn't coming until after Endwalker releases.
Cross-datacentre travel is being added sometime in the next few months however.
is anyone here planning on switching to the oceanian DC?
I am
You will have to buy ShB in order to experience the full game prior to Endwalker release
Then will have to buy Endwalker in order to play the latest expansion
yeah the pre-order lack the base game
I've been getting mixed information, but is there any end game content worth rushing toward or is the game just essentially story? Because I've just been skipping all the dialog and stuff.
essentially story
Majority story
story is the main content
we DO have a good endgame
Don't rush for endgame
Like I'm trying to play the game for a month until something else comes out, which is why I'm rushing but it sounds like there's no point in rushing.
So I should be reading dialog and shit?
The game respects your time and you can start and stop whenever
But it's subscription based, isn't it?
There's no fear of missing anything... Except like seasonal events
Yes
And you can start and stop
Don't need to be constantly subbed
Can you level from 70-80 with just msq?
yep
Nice!
same as 1-70
Question about Anima Light Farming: does my Anima weapon need to be equipped when the boss is killed or just when I leave the instance..?
Killed
Thank you..
if you're fighting a trial / raid then it has to be on at all times because of it
Hi I just had a quick question, for the last two quests in the game currently for msq is there a certain item level you need for a potential duty finder? I’m currently around 497 for my gear
But my slightly faster Faust kills!
do job quests
So I hit level 80 on my main job, but haven't finished the MSQ. Each step is giving 1.4M exp, and it's just going to waste. Can I swap to low-level jobs, and complete the quests to dump that exp into them?
They need to be the Msq level
Do you have to be 500 for a msq then?
To turn it in
dang
heh, that's why you level multiple classes since early level 😂
ah, then grab exarchic 510 gear from the marketboard
pretty cheap nowadays
Or farm Eden promise normal for 510 gear if you're broke as shit
Remember your weekly Nier tower raid for 520 gear
Do you have to be 500 gear for a duty in the last 2 msq quests?
470 and 490
Pagalthan doesn't have that high of an ilvl requirement
Does this discord have a duty help or mount farm section? Anyone know of any communities that are so inclined?
Since it drops 505
Ok, I’m 497 right now, so I think I should be okay
I do want to get higher lv gear though so thanks for the tips you guys!
so i’m doing the main story rn, i’m a level 21 pugilist and im unable to resume the story? like the quest is red and idk what i need to do
Read the objective
i did lmao
And talk to the giver to see why
How does one get an Explorer's Calot? (unique green ilevel 52 gatherer headwear with both control and gathering)
What's the objective
Apparently it's tradeable, non purchasable and the lodestone has no crafting info
nvm i got it LMAO
anyone up to make a group for Howling Eye?
does anybody wanna help me kill a lvl 50 Marraco in ceorthas
what world are you in @indigo loom
malboro
im in crystal-Zalera
rip
@indigo loom are you a trial cause i am and can't invite to party
no i have the full game lol
you can still add me though for future stuff
That is what being 80 vs lv50 does
If you use a glamour prism to add an item's look to your dresser, and then take it back out. Do you lose the ability to use that skin?
Yes, unless you used it on a plate
hey im having some issues with product codes. can someone be nice enough to help me out?
It remains on a plate even if you removed it
Oof. Okay thanks
What's the best way to get crystals besides buying them from the MB?
Crystals and not shards?
Correct
can i skip the latest expansion main story
You have to do it
is there anywhere in this server where folx update or give a heads up on sightings of rare enemies like Odin or Behemoth?
Centurio hunt discord in #resources does that
I haven't even tried that yet :o. I'll give it a go next time a collectible pops in my current farming zone lol. Thanks
Remember it's form empheral nodes and not unspoiled nodes
For aetherical reduction
The difference is that empherals can be respawned by checking other nodes nearby in its spawned window
oh thanks, didn't realize that. Looks like one is about to spawn in Kholusia where I'm heading now
You can use the recruitment channels or datacenter channels for that, but for the most part people just use the in-game party finder for stuff like that.
im new idk what this means XD
i'm trying to hunt odin so i can get the dark knight arms from the specialty vendor
zanetsuken
that doesn't drop from urth's font?
FATE Odin and trial Odin are very different
i believe i'm looking for fate odin
hey could anyone help me, I just hit lvl 22 and still cant find the quest to get my first chocobo
STORY level 20
You get it after joining a grand company
It's obvious and the chocobo quest is shown under the main scenario tracker
Do more story
Your level means nothing
Character lvl is just there to unlock and do story quests basically
Ahhhh ok, I just made the switch from WoW and getting your first mount over there is extremely linear
thanks for the help

Unless you have Hunts unlocked there’s no reason to go for those guys
Hunts are basically tasks from the hunt board to go kill specific mobs. Basically higher level, daily hunting log in sense
hmm alright, i was doing a little research on an armor set i wanted and hunts were mentioned, and i was unfamiliar
Higher rank mobs, A and S ranks have no bills and you get rewards for taking part similar to fates
also we need a hunt faq
sorry :/
what hunt bounty drops armor? o.O
I'm surprised kupo doesn't have one at this point
i was reading about the chaos set and darkbringer
That's your lv60 job gear
You get given that via your job quests
You can buy it back for seals if you lose it
yeah
someone said it's sold by the centurio seal (Heavensward hunts) vendor, at 520 centurio seals for the full set, and 140 seals for the sword
ah okay
if you need to rebuy it
nah i'm lvl 50 rn
but you got the first one for free if you done your lv 60 job quest
That sword is the first step of the DRK anima relic
what's that
Well it's model is
lv 60 relic weapon
Relics are weapons that you upgrade to eventually make it best in slot for that level
ahhhhh okay
Is Tonberry still considered best server for Australians? Did some googling but they are old results. I see there will be oceanic servers with newest expansion though, will I be able to move a character to the new server once they are released?
Only worth doing for fashion with the older ones
Transfers to the new DC should be free due to the servers being classed as new
If tonberry isn't yeeted to it anyway
cheers bud
And transferring to a new DC should give you gold choco feathers
I read that somewhere
Capped on seals what do I buy to sell now that the coke market crashed 
!faq poetics

gc seals?
ye
glamour prisms, cordials, anima mats, etc
Does anyone know if there is a PUG channel on this discord or The Balance?
Just trying to find some people to do some 9 10 11 parsing
When the chimera's eyes change in Cutter's Cry, is that indicated anywhere other than the chat log?
I don't see anything on screen, and it's distracting to have to watch the chat log while trying to heal
The text bubble pops up
Hmm, I need to pull up a video of the fight, then. I never noticed that
Then again... I am an oblivious idiot.
Yup, there it is, right in the center of the screen. I wonder if I moved that part of the HUD
for that one, isn't that better to see what skill he's casting?
If the cast starts as soon as the text prompt, that'd make sense.
Ram away
Oh, I can focus target the boss and see their casts that way
yeah, you need to dps the boss anyway hehe
Whew, it feels like I'm scrambling during these boss fights just to heal. hard to get off a quick aero before I need to spam Cure II on tank
or dispel some DPS that stepped in something they shouldn't have
I am absolutely going to use this to remember in vs out 😄
true that, less death is still priority 😂
The text bubble is a yellow text that's near the bottom centre of your screen
yeah dragon in, ram out
there's a lv 80 version of that boss, but it's bog in and flush out. Please still dying from it 😂 Don't worry
does the RDM ability Fleche have any synergy with any other ability/spell, or is it just "there" ?
It's free damage
Like pretty much most off global damage skills
Used whenever it's up
Weaved naturally after dualcasted spells
Quick question, for anybody who uses teamcraft, is there a way to make the lists purely self-sufficient and not have vendors
well yeah coming from machinist that has synergy with gauss shot, I was just asking to be sure
Where can I find Lv520 gear so I can join eden eternity PFs without a problem? 😅
Thanks 🙏
If im playing on the offical client and buy it on steam can i login with the same account and keep my progress?
Is there a way to increase text size in the dialog boxes?
are you free trial
ya
then yes you can go to steam full game. just keep in mind though that once you buy from steam you are locked into steam for future expansion purchases
cool!
I use the steam version. I actually like it since you can use the steam wallet for your sub and other mog station items as well
Anyone know how many tombstones of revelations a full hunt train can give? Never did one before
iirc its 120
Odd question, but is there like a "dungeon tanking etiquette guide", something along the lines of, could show me kinda what route/speed/whatever most people are gonna expect from me as a tank? Or is this just something I'll have to pick up on from repetition?
all dungeons past 15-49 are basically glorified hallways
and even before then they're extremely linear for the most part.
the only real confusing dungeon IMO is Toto-Rak due to all the winding sidepaths
Satasha also gets a bit wild with the room connected to all the other rooms, but you only need to beeline to the captain's quarters.
just checking you dont need to finish HW to get shire gear right? or you do
level 58 in the story to buy it in idyllshire
ah thanks I thought I misremember
What is sam kenki
The hissatsu skills but the potency when I read is 100
I see people say use party finder when doing hunts but I never see them actually in PF, anyone know what they mean?
Your main spenders of kenki are Kaiten to buff Iajutsus, Shinten, Seigan and Sensei (guren for aoe)
Ok
Yaten and the dash aren't super frequent but handy to get out of aoes
Ok
Hunt rewards are better depending on the amount of aggro generated by a party, so before you fight a S or A rank party up
hunts? I think the hunt discord like have time schedules or something on when will they start?
is choco medica still bad to learn?

do artifacts drop from any level in potd?
why is it bad? wasting chocobo gcd? 🤔
You’re gonna learn it eventually if you max out your bo, so like
no they fixed the issue with it a long time ago
sweet
use to be back in the day if you learned choco medica it would just spam that instead of using it appropraitely
yes, but it's RNG with better rates from the higher floors
so whats the best way to get 15 of them
so if you're grinding POTD you want to do 51-100 runs if the queues are decent
delubrum x 5..
DR honestly, it gives 3 per run now and you can do them in around 20-30 minutes most of the time if people use essences and bozja actions
so like ive been playing on the free trial and i wanna buy the game but idk what to buy its kinda confusing me
complete edition
That’s the simplest thing to do
complete edition pc version is $24 on GMG
gmg?
greenmangaming
it's also available on steam, but it'll lock you to steam forever unless you want to buy the non-steam version at a later time
can you link me to the gmg complete edition
ur a real og for that homie
buy it now while it's on sale, then activate it on your sqex account once you're for sure done with the trial
Do you guys think I’ll be able to play this with a college dorm’s wifi?
once you convert to full you can't go back to not paying a sub
thanks homie
I did
The college I’m going to has decent dorms but I hope the wifi is good
Else I might actually have to get a life
Cross your fingers then lol
For some reason when I open up my map and my quest status my courser glitches and disappears. Does anyone know if this is a setting or how to fix it?
Also when i click S, Q, E, (move buttons for backwards and diagonal) they glitch out
im not really sure what i should be using my yellow crafter scrips on
a friend of mine just started playing trial
which video for controller setup i should give him?

dunno which one is good one for beginner as i have 0 interaction with controller in FFXIV
If you just want gil, check and compare the price of tier 6/7 crafting materia in the level 70 item shop to fieldcraft demimateria 3 in the level 50 shop.
I basically self-taught myself with controller for the most part. :X
There's this text guide if they're up for reading
!faq controller
I haven't watched any controller guide videos so I can't tell you which ones are good or not

yo, trying to unlock quest "Songs in the Key of Kugane" but the wandering man doesn't want to give me the quest, do I need to do somethign special?
any difference in a disciple of the hand item and a actual goldsmith class item
like legs for the doh or legs for a gsm
i mean i know you can use one for all and one for that class
Does PotD exp reward scales with your base level until lv 50?
No actual bonus for using the actual gsm item right i can use a doh item as well?
hey guys, i bought the game on steam some time ago, now i'm looking to upgrade to ShB collectors edition... is there a way to upgrade from steam?
try again, I think I've gotten that error a few times
I don't think it's a serious issue
I mean I was downloading the shadowbringer update till it stopped
mogstation > additional services > Digital Service Upgrade
scales up to 60
I assume you can go to any world to buy things off the market within your data center, but you can only sell items out of your Home World's markets?
correct
Alright, that makes price checking for topsoils easy at least...
i know i can upgrade from the mog station... but the collector's edition from steam is actually cheaper than the mog digital upgrade
you mean job-specific crafter gear? it's just normal gear with stats
that's your only option if you already have what the collector's edition is from. :\
would there be a problem if i have the standard ShB edition and i buy the collectors edition with the same account?
can't redeem it since you already have SHB


It technically should be fine if you're buying it for gil since it's an in-game thing for in-game currency
Hey guys are Allagan tome stones of poetics worth farming for?
there a way to make some decent money without crafting?
Where to get this type of hairstyle?
Yeah
Depends on what you mean by decent. But you can farm in Bozjan/ do treasure maps or just sell them/ do roulettes as "in need" classes/ etc...
That's the modern legend hairstyle
I wouldn't intentionally go out of my way to farm them, but you can get both them and good experience from daily roulettes
And overall don't waste gil on unecessary things, planning out your free TP spots alone will save you a bunch of gil
If you can stomach the cutscenes, Main Scenario roulette gives a LOT of both. 500-600 poetics and usually around a third to over half of your EXP bar depending on duty and your level
Alliance Raid also gives a decent amount of both
You can make pretty good money from doing maps, but it requires a group to do
(above advice is if you're still doing the story)
Yo FF people. Any idea what stats I should set for my augmented laws order gunblade?
That’s what I assumed, any suggestions on what to spend them on? Sorry for the stupid question 😂 I heard FF is really beginner friendly when it comes to catching up to end game content, so would spending it on gear to catch up worth it?
@naive ridgeYeah ive just been tping willy nilly
!faq poetics
they're very nice gear to have since they're the best possible gear for their level caps
you definitely want the weapon at minimum since those are the biggest stat/damage/healing boosters
general item gearing priority is Weapon > Chest/Legs > Head/Arms/Feet > Belt > Accessories
of course, replacing a super weak accessory can be better than a small upgrade for the chest
Idek know anymore
I'm so frustrated
Ah I see, I’ve visited the shop every once and awhile the current gear level that I can buy is level 110 I think. Does the shop scale with level?
no
there's different shops for different level caps
the faq I posted has positions for each vendor
Beautiful! I was just about to ask😂
Hi there! Trying to go to Balmung server from Adamantoise to help a friend that's just starting the game but I dont see it as an option at the aetheryte. Can anyone help me out? 🤣
You can't travel data centres yet
Nooooo really!? :(
You need to be on crystal
I should probably get on that then, sounds like a good bang for my buck!
Now that's a first. Have you done (verify integrity of the game's cache)? Otherwise it looks like it isn't finding the program exe.
Data centre travel testing is coming after September
Heck. Ty for the reply
I already did but it's still not opening
Alrighty, give me a sec
talking to my cousin to see what's the problem

Also is that chocorpokkur mount a regional exclusive?
Have you run a repair on the library folders?
technically yes, but any region can redeem the code
you just need to be in NA to get the code
EU will get it's own spin of the promo to make it easier for them at some point
while JP already had their turn of it
im looking to make freinds in ff14 community if anyone is iterested hit up my dms
I did. I'm re downloading it rn
it works but let's see if the update for shadowbringers will update. Thanks anyways 
Can you trade to players from other worlds?
okay i literally did a fresh reinstall of FFXIV from the site but before i can sign in its still prompting that this is the trial launcher:
yes, you just need to directly go to their world with world visit
Should you farm dungeons for gear to sell on the market? I keep running dungeons but i keep getting Unique/Untradable gear.. so i cant sell any of it on the market.. is that normal?
this is being booted from this^ not _ft
Thanks
So is the only way to make gil is to become a crafter? since you cant get gil from DOW or DOM?
you can make gil. every enemy in dungeons drop a bit
duty roulettes give gil as the daily bonus and "Adventurer in Need" bonus, the latter being infinitely obtainable
and the challenge log has tons of things to do for both EXP and Gil
i mean like late game gil making.. seems thats restricted to crafters.. makeing gear that sells for like 1milllion+ gil
yes.
what craftable gears costs 1m? 🤔
Combat classes still have decent options late game like lockboxes from specific content and treasure dungeons
level 70+ gear does cost 1mill+ gil
not combat stuff, that's for sure.
Yes, glowing weapons crafted from EX drops can go for a lot of gil
oh right the recent primal weapon are expensive
Exarchic is only like 1m for an entire set of gear at the most
Lol, so like this girl really wants me to move from Exodus to Lamia for an Eternal Bond, but like I own a small plot. What are the chances I just lose my small and just get a crappy 3 mill back?
you need to let auto-demolish take your house to get the gil back
which takes 45 days
Is there someone i can get with help on booting the game?
Like I want the emote and all, but losing a small would suck
You have to relinquish to transfer, which wouldn't get you anything back.
ive had to reinstall the game and it keeps booting the trial launcher
even a fresh reinstall of the main launcher just kicks it to trial only
See, there’s this whole thing though that says you would get stuff back. It’s a transfer.
"* It is normally ONLY possible to perform a Home World Transfer without relinquishing ownership IF your character is transferring to a New World, or transferring from a Congested World to a Preferred World."
Wish I could help, but I only play on console. :\
hello, quick question.. Can friends be invited to apartment? (not estate/housing)
if you mean as tenants then no
Question about earning hunt seals. I've only been diligently doing the weekly hunts and daily hunts if I come across them. Just want to check if the nexy best method to hunt ARR seals is masked carnivale and centurio seals via hunt trains or s rank hunts?
hunt trains and S rank hunts usually go hand-in-hand
but ARR hunts in terms of organization are mostly abandoned since anyone can solo A ranks at 80 and S ranks can be solo'd as a tank/healer
I'm in the faloop discord and sadly ARR hunts are really rare so I discounted that
I see
Just realised how many rewards are behind the seals oh God
hmm just kill the S-rank :/
yeah the costs are brutal for the vanity set
Centurio seals requirements are unreal
Are you allowed to use blue mage in stuff like eureka and bozja
Even for the mounts and minions
BLU cannot enter Eureka/Bozja
Bozja requires level 71, so it's not allowed by default
JP DC has a lot of servers
well it can't do bozja at all since it's not level 71, but i don't expect them being allowed in when their level cap goes to 80
Lucikly for ARR seals theres really only the 2 minions and mount speed maps
and they often host 12x 4.0 A Ranks
nope
Hey, do I have it right that if me and my fiancee are on trial accounts we can be in a party as long as someone who actually owns it invites us both, promotes one of us, and then leaves? is that still the case?
yes
I've only finished based sb and unlocked flying in lochs few days ago haha. I tried to join the train a couple times but when they went into areas I couldn't fly, I just had to stop following
Definitely looking out for the trains now
BLUs would tear deep dungeons asunder
@wraith mirageThere will usually be someone kind enough to help you set up a party too, if you ask.
vibe check the entire palace of the dead
awesome! thanks. Ill be sure to post when we're both downloaded to see if someone is willing. Thanks @cunning loom and @tranquil valve
finish MSQ first 😂
care about vanity later, job quest and MSQ first priority
Can you do raids with all BLUs?
That’s how you get morbol so
but you get rewards for older content all-BLU synced raids
including the amazing morbol mount
The biggest flex
@patent citrus its more a thing to do on the side too
there's a lot of content i wanna do and catch up on but msq is taking most of my time so I'm quite on track
Why is morbol a flex
the req to get it is stupid
Because synced coils is hard, even with BLU shenanigans
What’s the req
BLU goals
Complete T5/T9/T13 and A4S/A8S/A12S as a party of full Blue Mages, synced, and no echo.
heh, can barely kill gogo 😂
gogo was a fun fight
The coils set and Alex set are 2 separate achievements that come together
For anima light farming must I be on the job and equipping the weapon? Or does having the anima in my inventory works
Equipped when the final boss dies
Aight thanks
Generally just leave it on. if you are level 80 it's trivial
still need party to kill a9s...
you still equip the relic though, its better to just equip it than to forget to equip it and having to do the whole thing again
What’s all those numbers
T = Bahamut Raid Series, A = Alexander Series
the order from top to bottom
Like 8s
The floor number
S?
The S is for savage
savage
Oh ok
Raid name, Floor number, savage
Do the coils not have a savage version?
Is there a way to mass trade multiple items all at once with less clicking???
yeah
So for the Morbol quest you don’t need to do savage coils, only normal ones?
Oh I see
You have to do it synced
BLU fuckery will be your saving grace
I’ve done the non savage Alexander raids
means twintania, nael and bahamut
They seemed alright
With new spells it shouldnt be too bad
if a friend trains your chocobo does the chocobo get experience?
Casual fucking 30k potency in opener or whatever
in a stable? yeah
I should start doing carnivale again
30k potency
I have reached lv 20 at Anemos and doesn't seem to see a quest opened up for me
What
okay cool. so when it says increase rank it just just means leveling it up
I just got an 18GB patch. Is it because I activated Shadowbringers and Stormblood?
Yep
BLU opener
Ooph, guess I'm not playing tonight LOL
